He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 604: Knowing the Truth

Where are you rushing off to, Chief Daniel Marshall?

Grace Ziegler watched intently through the glass window as Daniel Marshall moved briskly.

It was when Daniel disappeared from her sight that Grace came back to her senses only to witness Secretary-general Saunders walking into the CEO’s office.

Grace quickly walked up, but was met with a closed door.

She knocked on the door, “Secretary-general Saunders, may I come in to help you clean up?” she asked.

There was no response. The office door was locked from the inside.

Her colleagues in the secretarial division watched Grace through the glass window without any hesitation in mocking her: This woman really has no shame, never changing her bad habits, simply the most despicable woman on the face of the earth!

Met with a closed door, Grace had no choice but to retreat to her own seat, angrily glaring at those colleagues who were discussing and mocking her.

They’re nothing more than a bunch of nobodies who are jealous of her. She also looks down upon them, scoffing at them from the bottom of her heart.

As long as she can climb to the top, everything she desires can be attained easily. She doesn’t care about any bad names people might give her.

Unable to win Daniel’s favor, these pigs can only mock her behind her back, it’s just sour grapes. She will ignore them.

Grace discreetly glanced at them in disdain and continued working.

…

Daniel Marshall arrived at the Jenkins Group, the secretary informed him that Chief Jenkins had not returned.

When Daniel pressed for more information, the secretary confessed ignorance about Jenkins’ whereabouts.

Knitting his brows, Daniel returned to his car.

After some hesitation, Simon Howard finally spoke up, “Last night, Adam Howard asked me a lot about you and Secretary Grace Ziegler. The general idea was that you and Grace Ziegler are involved and it’s likely that the wife knows about it.

Yesterday, when you were on the road and let Grace hug you so publicly, I thought it was inappropriate. You were patiently comforting Grace, caring for her, and being gentle to her. It’s very easy for her to misunderstand. Honestly, as an onlooker, I too felt it was excessive.

I understand your affection for your sister, but, after such a short time together, do you really know her that well? Can you be sure she doesn’t harbor other feelings for you? Do you genuinely believe she’s very naive?

Daniel, frankly, I think your judgment has been clouded when it comes to family matters. As a married man, there should be a limit to your benevolence towards other women, and it should be easily distinguishable from the attention you give your wife.

Remember how agitated you were when you saw your wife with another man? Can you really say she’d feel any different if she saw you with another woman?”

Daniel clenched his thin lips; his eyes also dimming.

Seeing this, Simon stopped speaking.

As Simon prepared to drive, Daniel suddenly said: “Call Valerie.”

Immediately, Simon dialed Valerie’s number and put it on speakerphone, “Where are you right now?”

“I’m at Butterfly Pavilion, waiting for dim sums. I’m going to send them over to the carrier group.”

“Which carrier group? Are you guys making a movie? How come I didn’t hear about it!” Simon said while sneaking a look at Daniel.

Daniel listened carefully with a deep frown on his face.

Valerie’s voice carried a note of resentment as she said coldly, “You have been only focusing on him and doing all kinds of messy things, how could you pay attention to what we are doing! I’m hanging up. I don’t bother talking to you.”

As soon as Valerie hung up, Daniel immediately ordered, “Go to Butterfly Pavilion, be quick!”

…

Upon arriving at Butterfly Pavilion, Daniel and Simon saw Valerie packing dim sums.

Seeing his favorite dim sum, Simon swallowed, “Let me have one.”

Valerie said, annoyed, “Eat, eat, eat… Go eat your chive dumplings and pickles. You get full on those, so why are you here to make a fuss!”
